| Glenn, you would have made a great second lang. teacher. RIP. |
You see, Glenn went missing on the weekend leading up to our final week of classes before we were off to our 9 week practicums in February, 2013. During this week, we had some major assignments due, so it was really weird for Glenn (who was always prepared, early for class, etc.) not to show up. A few of us were puzzled about his absense, but my one friend took action to let someone know of his disappearance. He contacted my friend "Cathy" all the time via email to see how each other were doing (both are no spring chicks back in school), and the emails stopped. So that was an instant red flag for her! Anyways, she let security and the police know. Eventually Glenn's sisters were notified (he had no wife or children of his own) and the hunt was on.
Glenn left everything at his apartment that he would need when he left. All he took was his keys and university ID card. Even his glasses and wallet were left behind. Very weird that he just left. It's sad because he was so close of finishing his education degreen with concertrations in French and Spanish.
Anyways, it's really sad that he has passed on. He was a nice guy---friendly yet spoke his mind. I was not very close with him, but it still affects me in a way too, right? I may not grieve like I did for my best friend that passed away over a year ago now, but I am still grieving. Glenn was on my mind a bit---always wondering if they would find his body so his sisters could be at peace. My heart does go out to them. They lost a brother, and I a collegue. I can imagine the pain they are going through, though I can't iumagine the unknowing (until recently) where he was and if he was even still alive. But now they can lay him to rest and know that he is at better place.
My thoughts and sympathies go out to Glenn's family and friends. It is a hard time but time mostly heals all wounds. The peace of mind will help begin the healing process.
